DS2 had pneumonia while I had bronchitis a couple years ago. They said since he was up & moving around that he didn't have to go to the hospital, even though he was miserable & wheezing. There wasn't much more tehy could do for him at the hospital they said, just monitor him more strictly. The doc felt people get better at home quicker in most situations. It took about 48 hours for the meds to make a dent in his symptoms
DH has it now & they said pretty much the same thing about the hospital to him. It again took about 48 hours for him to start feeling better. it's been 2 weeks and while the wheezing is gone he gets tired very easily still
